    Legion of Doom was nothing but a Demolition/Barbarians redoux. That being said, I was a fan.

    Portland could become dangerous.....lucky Love was out this game. However, they have a very tough January schedule so it's possible they could slip way down by the end of the month. Otherwise, they are going to be a tough team to beat.

    It's closer than it looks. We can easily fall with a couple of losses. We've got to push through this January with a great record and get ourselves even higher.

    Talking about the flop, I just don't really believe Lin is the person who flops, period. He will never be the person to give hard foul or flagrant foul. And he has never complained when he was fouled hard or flagrant-fouled. It's just not his personality.

    Irving 's arm did hit him hard and Lin was knocked and his head just naturally lean backward and it looked liked he was flopping. But it's not. I don't believe Lin thought about acting to stop Irving. The situation on the court was not desperate and Lin was not in that desperate mood either.

    Uh, Lin stopped 15133213 drives by Kyrie, majority of his points weren't scored off Lin but TD and whoever on a switch, there was only one trey I can think of that Kyrie scored in Lin's face and one layup, otherwise Kyrie was either airballing or bricking over Lin.

    But 30PTs 10/25 shooting 8 TOs 6 assists, vs 20pts 7/13 shooting 4 TOs 5 assists, I wouldn't call Lin burned...Looks more like Lin played great D on Kyrie.

    The clutch D drawing offensive foul at the end was money, Kyrie was all kinds of pissed off hahaha.

    Golden State has a brutal 10 game stretch coming up, could see them going 5-5 or 4-6 over that span...that would help us gain ground on them

    Sure, his wins contributed. But you don't "take a team to the playoffs" when you stop playing in March. Melo was a beast all of April. I don't even like Melo, but some of the Lin homers here are just. . smh.

    Harden only took 17 shots. And they have to run isolation plays. Those Boston and L.A. teams you're talking about had low post offensive players. And the Rockets don't have that. But they do have a guard who can get to the rim at will...

    The rest of the schedule looks pretty decent for Houston. Barring injuries or some sort of meltdown, I don't see a reason why they can't make the playoffs this year.

    Steals is a BS stat. If a guy pokes the ball away, the guy who is lucky enough to pick it up gets the steal. Lin gets many pokes but not the credit. Just sayin'

    Wasn't even a flop, Lin was hit hard in the shoulder so his head flipped back.

    But of course Kyrie wasn't flopping all game, not at all :grin:
